and gave him the old hat in return.
Mr.. Gibson obtained it from his father,
who was a well-known antiquarian.

The Winds Of Heaven.

IL the winds of heaven could become
visible to us, and if from some stand
point far out in the blue we could look
down upon them, we should, no doubt,
find some of our preconceived notions
considerably modified. That they
would present spectacle sublime be-
yond conception goes without saying,
and, though no doubt wild and SEEM
ingly choatic enough to baffle the eye
of an archangel in an attempt to trace
out the entire system of their motions,
a comprehensive view would perhaps
present more of regularity than we are
accustomed to associate with the winds
No doubt the first thing that would
strike the attention in such survey
would be, not the wild chaos of the
aerial currents, but their orderly
rhythmical motions. For instance,
throughout the tropics at ordinary
times there is morning and evening
ebb and flow of the air as regular and
as pronounced as the ebb and flow of
the ocean. All coasts there suck in
moist, refreshing breeze from the
ocean in the morning and breathe out
again at night. To the eye that could
detect this grand inhaling and also ex-
haling over the whole tropical earth,
and could see also the great trade
winds sweeping down from the poles
to the equator in majestic currents
hundreds of miles wide, two m ghty
streams that meet in the torrid zone,
flow upward and move back in the up
per atmosphere to the eye that could
discern all this, and the many other
regular ana periodical currents, as well
as the circular whirlipg of storms, and,
possibly, the circular movements of
storm centers, the most impressive fact
of our atmospheric movements would
not be their capricious irregularity,
lime order and rhythm of the winds.

Dramatic Department.
BENJAMIN F. BUTLER.

AS predicted in these columns last
week the debut this season of the
National Opera Company at the
Academy of Music in Philadelphia
on Monday night was a great sue
cess. 1t was an unmistakable and
spontaneous success. which is all the
more gratifying to Mr.. Locke, who
has reduced order out of the chaos
in the ranks of this formerly demon
allied company.
The opening opera was that mag
nifcent spectacle, "Nero," by Reu-
bernstein, the first opera of this COM
poser to be sung in America. The
first part of the music is tumultu-
GUS and descriptive to correspond
with the action ; in the latter acts
however, the music is as rich in soul
stirring melody as some works Of
the old Italian school. In the third
act Chrysa's emma Juch), opening
solo is described as a marvel Of
beauty, sweet, direct and simple; its
pure melody offering a most delight
full contrast to the some what turbu-
lent music which proceeds it.
Spectacularly the piece is the
strongest in the entire repertoire Of
the company ; the burning of Rome
scene opening the greatest possibili-
ties, and one might say impossible
ties, too, in a mechanical sense. The
trying scene is wonderfully executed
and is described as the most effec-
tive piece of stage mechanism ever
produced in opera. The red tinge
which lights the sky become strong.
er, a fork of fame appears on q
building in the background, the red
light deepens and the thick smoke
pours heavily across the stage. Soon
tongues of fire come nearer and
nearer, they seem to lick up the
massive looking buildings in theii
way, until at last the immense con,
hagration seems to have every thing
in its grasp. So Rome burns while
the people rush in mad terror among
the burning buildings, with shouts
now in unison, now in discord, while
the immense orchestra adds its vol
ume of sound to the awful roar
Nero has assembled balcony and
while viewing the destruction hi
himself had ordered, feels inspired
to singing mellhuous threnody
over his burning capital to the ac
compartment of his Tyre. Thus
Nero fiddles while Rome burns.
This opera will be repeated on Sat
urday night, with the "Queen o
Sheba" at the matinee. Newark
will be well represented at these
performances.

THE OLD MAN AT THE STYLISH
CHURCH.

CHURCH.
Well, wife. I've been to church TO-
day-been to stylish one
And seein' you can't go from home,
III tell you what was done
You would have been surprised to see
what ] saw there to-day
The sisters were fixed up SO fine they
hardly bowed to pray.
! had on these coarse clothes ofmine,
not much the worse for wear
But then they knew / wasn't one
they call a millionaire
SO they led the old man to seat
away back by the door
Twas bookless and uncushioned, a
reseroed seat for hep poor.
Pretty soon in came stranger, with
gold ring and clothing fine,
They led him to cushioned seat far
in advance of mine
! thought that wasn't exactly right
to seat him up 80 near,
When he was young, and l was old,
and very hard to hear.
But then there's no accountin' for
what some people do;
The finest clothing, nowadays, oft
gets the finest pew;
But when we reach the blessed home,
all undefiled by sin,
Wen see wealth Begin at the gate,
while poverty goes in.
| couldn't hear the sermon, sat so
far way,
So through the hours of service /
could only swatch and pray :"
Watch the doin's of the christians
sittin' near me round about,
Pray God to make them pure within,
as they were pure without.
While sat there lookin' round up
on the rich and great,
l kept thinkin' of the rich man and
the beggar at his gate:
How, by all the dogs forsakcn, the
poor beggar's form grew cold,
And the angels bore his spirit to the
mansions built of gold;
How at last the rich man persisted,
and his spirit took its fight,
From the purple and fine linen, to
the home of endless night.
There he learned, as he stood gazing
at the beggar in the sky,
at isn't all of life to live, nor all Of
death to die"
| doubt not there were wealthy sires
in that religious fold
Who went up from their dwellings
like the pharisee of old
Then return'd home from their wor-
ship with head uplifted high.
To spurn the hungry from their door,
with naught to satisfy.
Out, out with such professional they
are doing more to-day
To stop the weary sinner from the
gospels shining way,
Than all the books of infidels, than
all that has been tried,
Since Christ was born at Bethlehem,
since Christ was crucifed.
How simple are the works of God,
and yet how very grandl
The shells in ocean caverns, the
flowers on the land
He gilds the clouds of evening with
thepold right from his throne,
Not for the rich man only, not for
the poor alone.
Then why should man look down on
man, because of lack of gold ?
Why seat him in the poorest pew be-
cause his clothes are old?
A heart with noble motives, a heart
that God has blest,
May be beatin' heavens music meath
that faded coat and vest.
l am odd may be childish-but l
love simplicity;
1 love to see it shinin' in christians
piety.

IDEAS mountains wild,
